a story

i didn't bring my camera. we were on a walk. avery, ashton and i. avery walked and helped me push her sister in the umbrella stroller. this was the first legit walk that avery was actually walking the whole way. exciting stuff.

we were rounding the corner back to the house and i said

"avery can you find our house? we are almost there."

a couple seconds later our little house came into view and she yelled

"dere it is"

and took off running in front of us. and there was just something so sweet and innocent about the way she was running as fast as her little legs could take her, with her sun streaked hair bouncing behind her.

her pink shirt, her purple shoes....

i was just watching her (praying she didn't take a huge face full of concrete) and i couldn't keep from smiling and my heart was so full.

she ran up the driveway and touched the stucco with both of her little hands and proudly announced to me and ashton...

"avery get it"

good job "getting" the house sweet girl.

man, do i love her.
